The high court will review a case with potentially huge impact for a decade on California and the Los Angeles area.
The Supreme Court said Friday it will give President Trump another chance to exclude “unlawful” immigrants from the 2020 census count in a case that targets the political power of California and other states with large immigrant populations.
The Constitution says the once-a-decade census should count the “whole number of persons in each state” and use that data to divide up seats in the House of Representatives and allocate federal funds to states and localities. But in late July, Trump announced that it will be the “policy of the United States to exclude from the apportionment base aliens who are not in a lawful immigration status...to the maximum extent feasible.”
